I know that its colder especially the further south you go, but surely its a reason to send some people packing?

I am looking at Wellington, the wind will not bother me but it looks like the weather is very cold in winter. A lot of people I have spoken to so far here in SA have warned us about the terrible cold weather. Is it really that cold?

Any Capetonians living in Wellington?

Well, I have been looking at SA temps this week. 30s all over the place. To give you an idea, I was in Welly in mid-April and it was 10C max one day but mostly about 15C at the mo. check out www.metservice.co.nz

The temps have gone below 20C weeks ago in much of NZ and in most parts you wont get even ONE day over 20C until October at the earliest.

Welly will be about 10C max in mid winter, nights down to 3C. Summer early or mid 20Cs, windy. The wind makes it feel much colder.

But i think you have to way up the odds, I will trade the current SA situation for lousy weather any day. Plus, my children will have a possitive looking future, I will not be limited in my career due to AA.... the list is endless.

SA Going to NZ Advice Forum

I was looking at the low temps for NZ, and thinking, that's not low - we get lower temps here - to where we get icicles hangning off the roof.... so I think we'll be ok in NZ. of course TX doesn't have long winters - only a few weeks at a time, and we have central heating in the houses, with aircons for the summer. I think Im going to enjoy NZ summers where I can send the kids to play outside all day. Here you can't let them stay outside due to the excessive heat. Now i've moved here from SA 8 years ago, and we've acclimatized. I bet we can do it again.

Many UK people are getting better weather in NZ than in the UK, Ithink, so they can't complain about that. Some USA people from the northern states probably think NZ weather is wonderful!
